God has promised us cities to overtake yet most of them come with obstacles. The 12 spies saw exactly what was promised but they also saw the obstacles. When God has called us to a new land and new adventures there will also be "faith obstacles" for us to trust Him...
Following Christ may find us at the water's edge and His instructions going forward frighten us. Often times He asks us to step in first. We go faith-filled and shaking as we step but we step. Others are following the road we are on. They stay stuck if we don't...
This week we see a great representation of the "presence" of God being affected. Uzzah touches the ark and pays a hefty price for mishandling the presence of God. We too must guard how we handle the presence of God. Connect with the community online! Listen to more...
I have to say God is a long-suffering God. He amazes me with His love for us but there comes a time when sin must be dealt with. I Samuel 2-4 is such a moment. When we choose to be rebellious toward our sin God can and does remove His protective hand from us. The...

Alignments in assignments pack a powerful punch. They are either helpful for the kingdom or harmful to those around us when we neglect to walk in them. What if you decide not to walk in your assignment handed to you by God? Is it a big deal? Yes it’s a very big...
When God's descriptors of His church begin with naked, poor, lukewarm, blind, and miserable there is some work that needs to be done. Laodicea was the church! I fear we have lots of modern-day Laodicean churches today! Does that affect or stop a move of God? There...
When Jesus calls you "perverse" your ears tend to perk up! That is exactly what happens in Matthew 17 when His disciples weren't prepared to do the work of ministering to the needs of a young man! There are many parallels to us today! Jesus challenges their level...
I fear we've missed out on one of the most important spiritual disciplines. This discipline is recounting, remembering and rehearsing the goodness of God. Often times storms come back to back! God moves in the first one and we forget! Spiritual amnesia is a thing!...
